Viimsi is also a place with the biggest number of births and it has a positive increment.

The important aspects of activating family culture traditions are communication between generations and transmission of experiences and knowledge Based on Viimsi municipality's development plan, there is a wish to support pre-vocational trainings, entrepreneurship studies, development of youth centre, and youth-work improvements and diversification. Young people need to make many decisions about specialty alternatives, family and planning children and which are not taught in schools.
